MIRABEL POV Early in the morning, I felt very hungry so I decided to get up and look for something to eat. As I walked off the bed and walked to the stairway I saw Aliana and Bella our maid, they were talking and chatting but i could sense that Bella isnt on my side she works for Aliana, anyways I shouldn’t be surprised i didn’t hire her anyway.As I continued walking, they heard my footsteps and stopped talking. Bella, our maid, saw me and suddenly stood up from her seat, a look of shock on her face."Why did you stand up?" Aliana yelled at Kate, our maid. "We were still talking and chatting. You suddenly stood up because you saw Mirabel?"Bella trembled, her eyes darting to me and then back to Aliana. "I-I didn't mean to, ma'am," she stuttered. "I just...I didn't want to be rude, when I saw madam coming I dont want to be disrespectful I stood up so she could sit down."Aliana's face twisted in anger. "You didn't want to be rude?" she repeated. "You think standing up for Mirabel
MIRABEL AND JOHN I smiled, feeling a sense of gratitude towards him. "Thank you," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “You dropped the call so fast and sudden, I was worried about why you did that” I said .He stepped down from his car, his eyes never leaving mine, and walked towards me. "I'm sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you, I just wanted to surprise you with something" he said, his voice filled with happiness.Then he brought out a brown bags full of fruits and food“Wow you bought many things” I said feeling happy as I saw the cooked chicken he bought.I carried them and walked inside without waiting for him because I was so hungry.He smiled and slowly walked behind me....As I reached the dining table, John stood beside me, his eyes shining with excitement. "I can see you are very hungry," he said, his voice filled with anticipation.I smiled, my heart swelling with love for him. "Let me use another word for that babe , I'm starving," I replied, my eyes scanning the arr
As the day began to set, John canceled every plans he throughout the month so he could enjoy his stay with me.He held my hand and walked me downstairs.Everything for the wedding is arranged, I feel very anxious and nervous I wonder what will happen.As we walked downstairs to grab something to eat, Marcus turned to me and said, "I know you seem so nervous."I nodded, feeling a lump form in my throat. "I am," I admitted. "I an scared, I wonder how it’s going to turn out”He smiled “you dont have to be scared, you have me, I’ve got this “ he assured me.I decided to trust him and I suddenly felt calm.As we stepped out into the garden, the warm sunshine and gentle breeze enveloped us, lifting my spirits. The view was breathtaking - vibrant flowers bloomed in every corner, and the lush green grass stretched out before us like a canvas of serenity.John took my hand, his eyes shining with optimism. "Our wedding is going to turn out great and awesome, okay!" he said.I smiled, feeling a
It’s a nice morning, today is a very special day to me. Today I will officially be John’s wife, no one on earth could be happier than I am right now.My diamond necklaces flashed across the mirror.I smiled, my face filled with happiness.Victoria suddenly walked inside, I was so surprised to see her.“Vicccccccc.....” I said my voice filled with happiness and gratitude.I am happy she came, she has been my number one supporter.She hugged me very tight, as we broke he hug she patted my head “I will walk you down the Asile” she whispered to my ears.I looked straight into her eyes, and my smile grew wider. I had been dreading this moment, wondering who would walk me down the aisle on my special day. But now, I felt a sense of relief and gratitude wash over me.I had no one to walk me down the aisle, no father, no brother, no family member. But my friend, dear Diana, had decided to step in and fill that void.I felt a lump form in my throat as I looked at her, my eyes welling up with
As the night wore on and the celebration continued, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had settled in the pit of my stomach. Aliana and Diana had been hovering around me all evening, their smiles and laughter seeming to hide a sinister intent.As we made our way back to the car, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. Maybe once we were away from the prying eyes of our guests, I could finally relax.But as we drove away from the venue, I noticed Aliana and Diana exchanging a knowing glance in the rearview mirror. My heart skipped a beat as I wondered what they were planning.As we drove away from the venue, my husband, John, turned to me with a smile. "Hey, Mrs. Peterson," he said, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "How does it feel to be married?"I blushed, feeling a sense of happiness wash over me. "It feels amazing," I replied, snuggling into his side. "I'm so happy to be spending the rest of my life with you."John wrapped his arm around me, pulling me close. "I'm ha
As I drifted off to sleep, I felt John's arms wrap around me, holding me close. His warmth and presence were comforting, and I felt my worries slowly fade away. I had a nice sleep, lulled by the sound of his gentle breathing and the beat of his heart.But my alarm had other plans. It blared to life, jolting me awake and shattering the peaceful atmosphere. I groggily reached over to turn it off.John woke up beside me rubbing the sleep from his eyes."Babe, let's get dressed and go home," I whispered to him, my voice filled with excitement.He smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I don't know why you want to go to the mansion so bad this morning ," he said, his voice low and husky.I blushed, feeling a flutter in my chest. "I just miss it, I guess," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.He uncovered himself from the blanket and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close. "Alright we will go home, baby," he whispered, his breath tickling my ear.I kissed him, feeling a ru
As the tension between John and Diana continued to escalate, I tried to intervene, placing a calming hand on John's arm. But he shook me off, his anger and hurt boiling over."Diana, leave now," he spat, his voice cold and detached. "We are no longer married. You left this marriage a long time ago, and now you're expecting me to accept you back? I should have waited when you left and married another man?"Diana's face twisted in anger, her eyes flashing with defiance. "I am still your legally married wife, John," she yelled, her voice echoing through the hallway. "You either accept that or not, we aren't divorced yet."John turned his back on her, his jaw clenched in anger. He took my hand and pulled me upstairs, leaving Diana standing alone in the foyer.As we reached the top of the stairs, John turned to me, his eyes still blazing with anger. "I'm sorry you had to see that," he said, his voice tight with emotion.I shook my head, trying to calm him down. "It's okay, John. I understa
It was already late, around 8pm, when I heard the sound of John's car pulling into the driveway. I had been waiting for him, eager to welcome him home and help him with his bags. But before I could even take a step forward, Diana rushed past me, her long legs carrying her quickly to the car.I opened my mouth in surprise, wondering how well she could catch up with her lies, lies that she is sick so she could get her way in this way into the mansion very well, my eyes wide with shock. I couldn't believe she had beaten me to it. Without another word, I turned and walked back inside, feeling a pang of disappointment and frustration.As I entered the house, I could hear the sound of John's laughter and Diana's chatter. They were talking and joking, completely carefree. I felt a surge of anger and resentment towards Diana. Why did she always have to be so quick to insert herself into every situation?I walked into the kitchen, trying to shake off the feeling of annoyance. But it only seeme
As I slowly opened my eyes, blinking away the fog of sleep, a gentle sense of peace settled over me. For the first time in what felt like forever, I felt like myself again. The weakness that had gripped my body was finally gone. The endless days of pain and uncertainty had melted away like a bad dream. I inhaled deeply, savoring the feeling of strength and renewal coursing through my veins. The air tasted sweeter, the light filtering through the curtains seemed warmer. I had come back to life, and it was a beautiful morning.The door to my room creaked open softly, and I turned my head to see Raymond standing in the doorway. His face lit up as soon as our eyes met, his expression a mixture of relief and love that made my heart ache with emotion. He rushed over to my side, kneeling by the bed and taking my hands in his, holding them as if I were the most precious thing in the world."You're awake," he breathed, his voice thick with emotion. "You're really awake."I smiled, squeezing hi
Reports coming everywhere told us that Aliana was on her way to the airport. We rushed there but then I couldn't take it anymore. I told Ryan to stop the car, and the other convoy also stopped.“Kate, come with me” I said and we walked into one of the cars, the body guards stepped down and joined the third car.“Mirabel what on earth are you doing?” Raymond yelled at me “Kate knows how to drive, let's split into three, I will face her at the other side of the road” I said and Kate drove off immediately.As we continued driving, the road grew busier, and I kept a close eye on Ryan's car. "What's the color of her car?" I asked him, my voice firm and focused."Its black," he replied, rattling off the license plate number.Just then, Aliana took a wrong turn, unaware of our presence. She saw my car approaching and tried to turn back, but it was too late. Raymond's car blocked her path, trapping her. I leapt out of the car, sprinting towards her with Kate close behind."Let go of Ethan,
MIRABELThe day had been long and exhausting, but the weight of uncertainty had kept me awake. Ethan's DNA test had been the final thread holding together years of questions, doubts, and sleepless nights. I had to know if he was truly mine, if the child I had always wondered about had been in my arms all along.I walked out of the room. My heart was pounding, the paper heavy with the truth I had been searching for. The hallway felt endless as I made my way toward Raymond, who was standing at the edge of the room, his eyes full of concern. Ryan, Louis, and Victoria sat nearby, their faces reflecting the same worry that had been haunting all of us."I did a DNA test on Ethan," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.Raymond straightened up, his eyes locking onto mine. The room fell into an eerie silence as everyone stood up,their gaze on me"How did it turn out?" Ryan asked, his voice hesitant, as if he was bracing himself for the worst.I swallowed hard, the words caught in my throat.
As the last wisps of Emma's life slipped away, Annie's own vitality began to wane. The relentless pursuit of vengeance, the endless cycle of pain and anger, had finally taken its toll. She felt the weight of her exhaustion, the crushing burden of her grief, and knew she could fight no more. She knew she didn't have to fight for anything anymore, John was already down, he had lost his company, and a lot of people.With a heavy heart, Annie bid farewell to the opulent halls of John's mansion, leaving behind the only life she had known for so long. She turned her back on the memories, both bitter and sweet, and walked away from the two people who had become her unlikely family Andrew and little Ethan.As she disappeared into the horizon, Annie sought a fresh start, a new dawn where the shadows of her past wouldn't haunt her. She yearned for a place to heal, to rediscover herself, and to find solace in the quiet rhythms of an ordinary life.The wind whispered secrets in her ear, of a tomo
As Emma reached the hotel, she texted Annie and told her she was at the hotel but Annie said it out in the house, a secret that was meant to be kept.“Why would Emma go to a hotel?” She asked her gaze on Aliana and Andrew “Really?” Aliana asked Annie nodded, Aliana now realized that Emma was the one who was standing at the entrance of her room, she smiled and turned her gaze at Annie “Which hotel is she staying at? We have to go check on her and ask her why she is staying in there” Aliana said, but before Annie could speak up, the maid broke a plate, Annie got furious and rushed over to her questioning her why would break a plate. Aliana rolled her eyes in anger, she just needed few seconds. Annie was about to open us but the maid messed things up.Annie walked back into the living room so she could finish what she started with Aliana but her phone beeped again.“Do not tell anybody it's for our safety”.Annie's eyes widened and immediately, she stood up and walked into her room, s
---Aliana stormed out of the living room, her heels striking the marble floor with a sharp staccato rhythm as she marched toward the hallway that led to her room. Her face was twisted in anger, her mind consumed by the sudden return of Mirabel and the unexpected chaos she had brought with her. The very sight of her standing in that living room, alive and full of confidence, had shaken Aliana to her core. She had been so certain Mirabel was out of the picture, so sure that the past she’d buried would remain there hidden.But now, everything was unraveling.Slamming the door behind her, Aliana entered her bedroom, her hands trembling as she locked it. She leaned against the heavy oak door for a moment, closing her eyes and trying to steady her breathing. Her heart was pounding in her chest, adrenaline coursing through her veins. She had worked so hard to keep everything under control, to maintain the facade of the perfect life she had built with Andrew. And now, in a single night, Mira
And after the joyful night,they all drifted off to sleep.8AM IN THE MORNING.Raymond woke up but he didnt to disturb her so Kate told him about her schedule and he woke her up. Mirabel walked into the bathtube and she took her bath, fews minutes later she came out and she dressed. She walked into the grand living room and saw Kate, she had already been waiting for her.“Where are you going? What are your plans for today?” Raymond askedMirabel smiled “I am going to visit John and his family, I have to personally announce my arrival to them, I bet they would be so shock by now” she said Raymond nodded “Be careful, I have something to tell you if you are back” he said “What is it about? Can't you just tell me now? I am always eager when it comes to something like this” she said Raymond smirked “Its something we need to sit and talk about” Mirabel nodded and slid into the car and they drove off to John's mansion.---As the black SUV rolled up the winding drive to John's mansion, th
It was around past 7 in the night, Mirabel stayed at the lodge because she doesnt know she would interact with Louis and the rest yet. Just as she slept off, Kate just decided to check on her in the room because she left her food on the table, as she touched her, she noticed that she was burning up.“Ma'am” Kate said as she began to tap herMirabel woke up slowly “I am not dead yet relax, I would finish my revenge before I die” she said her voice shaking and low.Kate smirked “here is a drug, I bought this incase of emergencies like this” she said and handed her a drug.Mirabel trusted Kate so much so she used the drug and slept off.9 AM IN THE MORNINGKate decided not to wake her up but she brought her the lotha she would wear, she placed them on the couch as she turned to leave Mirabel called her.“I am awake” she said and Kate stopped in her tracks.“Good morning ma'am” Kate said Mirabel nodded “Let's go to Raymond” she said and walked into the bathroom, after she finished her b
~Everyone was happy that Georgina wasn't on his side, Mrs Ava spoke up.“We have decided to make Mrs Georgina the head now” she said and turned to John “Come back when you are in your right senses” she said and clapped for Georgina.Georgina smiled, bowing for them, she kept smiling her teeth out she gazed at Annie and smiled at her.“It's alright” she said as she stopped them.The room had fallen eerily silent. A sense of unease crawled over the crowd as Georgina's voice cut through the quiet like a razor-sharp blade. "I am afraid you are cheering for the wrong person,I am not the one you people should cheer for" she said, her voice low yet commanding. The air in the conference room thickened with tension. Faces once lit with admiration for John now turned to Georgina, eyes narrowing, trying to understand what had just happened.The applause died. John’s confident smile wavered, confusion clouding his features. As he opened his mouth to say something, the door behind him swung open
